The job
Gulfward moves cargo through the ports of Mobile and New Orleans. Its site ran on software nobody at the company could log in to anymore, and half the pages had not changed since the person with the password retired.
What we built
We moved the whole site, then rebuilt only the pages that could not come across as they were. Trade lanes and cargo types became structured pages. A short quote form replaced the old eleven-field one. Old addresses redirect to the matching new pages.
What changed
The operations team can edit its own site again. Quote requests now come in with the port, the cargo, and the date.
